Attention New York Voters

Here's something I had not thought of!

Are you voting for John Kerry but wishing there was a viable, more progressive alternative out there?

In New York State, Kerry will be on the ballots as the candidate for two parties, Democrat and also the Working Families Party. An editorial in The Nation assures that "a vote on the WFP line for Kerry counts just as much as a vote on the Democratic line, but it sends a message about what you believe in. It's a vote for equality and democracy, and for living wage jobs, affordable housing, universal healthcare and an end to preemptive wars."

I urge you to consider voting WFP this time. We can elect Kerry but also let the Democratic leadership know how important progressive values are.
